batteryt life on sprint 6.5 horrible

[ddiokno]

All things being equal (old programs reinstalled on 6.5), my battery life is roughly equal to before, not significantly better or worse. I have noticed that programs sometimes do not quit when I exit it, hence they are running in the background, could that be what is happening to you? If there is a persistent connection to the network with the program not properly quitting, could that be causing your battery drain?
